Tell me about routine maintenance. I was quoted $1000-$1200 for 2 yr service which includes oil & filter change, cabin filter change & brake flush.Why is it so expensive & why does Porsche recommend flushing brakes every 2 yrs?
I have a 2019 Cayenne Base - 2.5 yrs old w/ 14,500 miles

Hello Islandbound. You’re not the first Rennlister to have sticker shock over maintenance costs! No need to delete; this can serve as a compilation of threads about service costs. Here you go:
Having just got my Cayenne I’ll be on the hunt for a decent independant Porsche shop for stuff I can’t do myself. If I’m in town near my friends shop I can do the oil changes myself (he has a lift). I’m sorry, I know it’s a Porsche, but an oil change is an oil change the process to change the oil on a Cayenne is the same as a Toyota or pretty much any other car. Changing the cabin filter is pretty simple and I question if the brake fluid really needs changing after 2 years but it’s still not that difficult to do either.
Anyone know the Porsche part number for the '22 V8's oil folter? Is that a screw-on metal can now or still the replaceable pleated cartridge? I can't find one in a couple searches.

Is Purflux the OEM manufacturer of this filter? Pelican parts has three filters under this part number. One with the "Porsche Genuine Parts" designation and one with the "OEM" designation made by Purflux. The third one is made by Mann and has no designation. The part number is the same. I assume just the box (and price) is different?

Yeah FCP Euro also has that Hengst option that Pelican does not. In any case it seems to me that the Purflux filter is the same as the Porsche branded OEM filter, but I was hoping to get some confirmation from someone "in the know".
I lost the engine on a 2020 Ford Ranger doing that by using a Fram filter that turned out did not work on the Ranger engine, even though the cross reference charts said it did. . Warranty denied. Saving $ 3 to $ 5 on an oil filter vs a new engine was a hard lesson.

Yeah I always use OEM. That's why I was curious if the Purflux is the same as OEM just without the Porsche box. From what I have read it seems that Purflux makes the Porsche OEM filters but was just wondering if anyone had any further info on the matter.
Also, the filter for the Cayenne is not the Classic French Purflux with the wavy pleats. It’s the same old generic filter made somewhere in Eurasia.
Mann/Mahl/Hengst are German companies… except they also import from East Eurasia, and EU laws permit them to say “Made in Germany” if the final assembly is done there.
I’ll be doing an oil/filter service on a Cayenne I have put in a Purflux filter in a month or so. We’ll see how it held up.
